AB  - This article discusses dilemmas of global civic activism from a neo-Gramscian  perspective as both subordinated and a potential challenge to hegemonic  neoliberal order. With the investigational focus on the People’s Global Action  on Migration, Development and Human Rights (PGA) event, the space for  civic activism relating to the intergovernmental Global Forum on Migration  and Development (GFMD) and its associated Civil Society Days and Common  Space is analysed. The article asks how the future of PGA activism may be  influenced by its formalized representation within the GFMD. It posits that  the PGA has landed at a crossroad between becoming a global activist  counterhegemonic movement to a dominant neoliberal migration policy and  being captured in a tokenist subordinated inclusion within a truncated  ‘invited space’ for interchange. This ambiguous position jeopardizes its  impact on global migration governance, discussed with reference to theories  of transversal politics and issues of counterhegemonic alliance-building.
